Photo Forum / Film Photography / Darkroom / February 2004Beseler 8341
I've located a Beseler 8341 neg carrier for my 45xmt. Since this is not a current partno, does anyone know if this one became the 8343 (w/anti-Newton glass) or the 8342 (w/standard glass)? Also, is there any on-line documentation for the partno changes? They kind of make me nuts. Thanks. -Lew > I've located a Beseler 8341 neg carrier for my 45xmt.

I don't think it's likely that the number changed. My part list includes 8340 [negtrans I think] and the 8342,8343. The 8xxx set of numbers is I think the newer style of numbers. Nick Nick: Well, I can check the number tomorrow morning. How can I tell if it's anti-Newton glass or not? -Lew > I've located a Beseler 8341 neg carrier for my 45xmt.

The only difference between it and an 8342 is the type of hinge. The 8341 has a "piano" style hinge while the newer carriers have a hinge made of spring steel. The only difference between the 8342 and the 8343 is that the 8343 includes the AN glass. But all three take the same size glass so AN glass can be fitted to the other two as an option. You can always identify AN glass by its stippled appearance. KHB Photografix www.khbphotografix.com Do you know if Beseler ever offered the AN glass as a separate item that could be installed on the 8341? -Lew Yes, Lew. The Beseler part # is 7005. We keep it in stock, but you should also be able to order it through any Beseler dealer.
